Thanks HF, that's an
Thanks HF, that's an excellent view. I was hoping you'd have something!
Please can I ask if that's a photo you own the original, or that you only have the digital copy?

Victoria Gaol pics
Morning All,
That photo is one of a pair taken from Chancery Lane in 1895. Both are in the Colonial Office collection of the National Archive UK. The HK Public Records Office also has copies, and while they claim to own copyright, the National Archive site says anyone can use them. You can find them here: http://www.flickr.com/search/?ss=2&w=31575009@N05&q=victoria+gaol&m=text
cheers,

Aha! Thanks Adam, I'm off to London on Wednesday evening and have a couple of visits to the National Archive planned. I'll take a closer look then.
